Bikram or Hot Yoga and Mats

Question for the Bikram/Hot Yogis and Yoginis:

I’m taking Bikram Yoga and was wondering, is there anything better to use than just a sticky mat with a towel on top? Hugger Mugger has mats that are more carpet or rug-like (Solace or Tola), and there are yoga rugs of course. Of course, I’ll have to wash out anything I use after each class or at least let it completely dry before I can use it again. It might be easier to rent a towel for each class rather than go through the maintenance.

Thank in advance for your help!

I initially bought a thin microfiber towel, but it would quickly become soaked and be even more slippery than just a mat. After that I got a thicker towel with sticky dots on the back, and that has worked out well.
